Markers in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 are: connecting column 1, sliding base 2, positioned swinging block 3, ring spring 4, fixed block 5, hollow cube 6, triangular piece with hole 7, sliding leg 8, upper portion 11, lower portion 12, adjustable connecting column 13, gas bar 14, caster 81, and fixed connecting piece 82.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the invention are described with drawings.

In FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, a chair leg includes a connecting column 1, the connecting column 1 is fixed to a sliding base 2 via a swinging block; the connecting column 1 is a circular column divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion 11 gradually becomes thicker from top to bottom, a small adjustable connecting column 13 is sleeved by the upper portion 11; the lower portion 12 gradually becomes thicker from bottom to top, and a length of the lower portion 12 is from 8 cm to 24 cm. The connecting column 1 can be better fixed and the cost of materials is saved. The sliding base 2 includes a sliding leg 8 and a connecting block; the sliding leg 8 includes two parts, one part is a fixed connecting piece 82, one end of the fixed connecting piece 82 is fixed to the connecting block, the other end is circular-arc-shaped and is connected with the other part that is a caster 81, the caster 81 is a universal wheel; the swinging block includes a positioned swinging block 3, a ring spring 4 and a fixed block 5; the ring spring 4 is disposed in the positioned swinging block 3, the fixed block 5 is fixed to the connecting block of the sliding base 2 via bolts passing through the swinging block 3 and the ring spring 4; and the connecting column 1 is fixed to the connecting block of the sliding base 2 via the swinging block.

The sliding base 2 includes sliding legs 8 and the connecting block, the connecting block includes a cube 6 that is hollow in the middle and four triangular pieces 7 respectively with a hole; the four triangular pieces 7 with the hole are welded to four interior corners of the hollow cube 6, respectively, and the sliding leg 8 is welded to the middle of an outer side of the cube 6. Thus, the universal wheel disposed at a lower end of the sliding leg 8 allows the chair to fast move in a certain angle of 360° degrees. The hollow cube 6 with a certain height does not make the chair swing at a large angle. As to a certain extent, the connecting column 1 of the chair may contact the edge of the hollow cube 6, and the triangle pieces 7 with the hole welded in the four corners of the cube may remain the shape of the hollow cube 6, allowing the hollow cube 6 as much as possible to maintain the original shape under stress, to relieve some stress.

The connecting column 1 is a circular column divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion gradually becomes thicker from top to bottom, a small adjustable connecting column is sleeved by the upper portion; the lower portion gradually becomes thicker from bottom to top, a length of the lower portion is from 8 cm to 24 cm; a gas bar is disposed in the adjustable connecting column of the connecting column and is sliding up and down for adjusting a height; and via the swinging block, the connecting column 1 is fixed to the sliding base 2. The swinging block includes a positioned swinging block 3, a ring spring 4 and a fixed block 5. The fixed block 5 is fixed to the sliding base 2 via bolts at four corners passing through the swinging block 3 and the ring spring 4. The positioned swinging block 3 is with a hollow cylinder in the middle, the hollow cylinder cooperates with a size of the connecting column 1, and the hollow cavity becomes smaller from top to bottom, thereby better fixing the connecting column 1. The ring spring 4 is disposed in the positioned swinging block 3 and is a spring with a high-stiffness coefficient, thereby better strengthening the swinging effect. The fixed block 5 is square and hollow, the hollow portion is circular, and a diameter of the hollow circle is smaller than a diameter of a circle formed at the bottom of the positioned swinging block 3, thereby allowing the connecting column 1 to be further fixed, avoiding too concentrated pressure points when swinging, increasing the safety of the product, avoiding stiff swinging, providing buffer to alleviate the stress.

To sum up, the invention has the advantages of a simple and reasonable structure design, convenient manufacture, low production cost, and easy popularization and application. The chair leg can swing in a certain angle of 360 degrees, to give users more comfortable seat experience, and ease stiff sitting in the life.
